3 Hearts: A Sequel to An Unknown Romance

Chapter 8

Meryl's POV

"You've had an incomplete miscarriage." My heart sank to my feet and I started to cry hysterically. Seeing me cry, both Maks and the doctor joined me. "Um, you can have a D&C done if you'd like to get the miscarriage over with, or you can let it occur naturally." The doctor was trying to pull himself together.

"Yeah, let's do the D&C." I said with tears streaming down my face and onto the covers of the hospital bed.

During the D&C, I began to think. We told everyone from Dancing With the Stars, and our family and friends. What were we going to tell them? I started to cry again and Maks had stepped outside, he didn't want me to see him break, I guess.

Once the procedure was done, I was sent to a gynecologist to figure out why the pregnancy didn't continue. At this point my tears had stopped and I was just in complete shock. Maks on the other hand, was a complete mess.

"We even picked out names..." I heard him mutter as we were waiting.

"Do you think it was a girl or a boy?" I asked surprisingly calm.

"Boy." He whispered.

"Me too." I said quietly. "Erik or Leo?" Maks thought hard.

"Erik Leo Chmerkovskiy." We said at the same time. We half laughed then the room became silent again.

The gynecologist came to the conclusion that I had a weirdly shaped uterus, causing Erik not to grow.

"You see, a normal uterus is shaped like a V. Yours, is shaped like a heart." She said.

"So what does this mean? She can't have children?" Maks asked, letting go of my hand.

"There's a slight chance that she will have children but it's very unlikely." This doctor was much more used to crying parents. The tears began to flow again and we headed home.

The car ride was silent, the whole next day was silent, the next week was nothing but silence.

We were simply heartbroken parents, mourning over their angel in Heaven.
